So even though he knew the person wouldn't accept his advice to ask for moderate selfish wishes like moderate wealth as well as his advice to not wish and walk away, he still told him to not wish and walk away?

Even though he didn't want the persons wishes to go awry he still told him advice he knew wouldn't work.
